I guess some of that has some nostalgia value, but when you hear it all the time, you can't help but realize just how bad it was.

It was bad enough that I listened to it in the 80's. Must I be reminded of my bad musical taste too?!

Could be worse, I grew up with and listened to bad 1970's music.

Aww. Is there no place in the world where people who like crap will be accepted?? Of course, only the crap that I like is acceptable.

CP, I hereby accept the fact that you love crap. And I accept you in spite of that fact. No, I accept you because you like crap.

But I won't go shopping with you in a store that's playing crappy music really loudly. I have to draw the line somewhere, after all.

Hey now, hold on a second sister - I never said that I love crap.

Ah, but of course. Hate the sin, not the sinner

Ah, well, you got me there. I mistyped. You said like. I should have said like. Oops.

Not a sin at all. Just something which I do not wish to force myself to endure.

I love the 80s music (Clash,Human league,Devo, blondie,etc.) that's why all these new bands like interpol are recreating it.

Don't get me wrong, I loved 80's music. I was into all that back then and I love bands like Interpol, The Jets, etc now. But the entire 80's retread has got to go. I mean seriously I saw a girl who was probably 12 dressed in full Madonna gear! Rubber band bracelets, geometric shaped earrings, lace (lots of lace) and a SCRUNCHY!

Please step away from the 80's clothing. It was bad then and worse now! Kinda like dredging up the 60's or 70's. Luckily I don't have any photos of me in the 90's during my 60's retread.

Bad 70's music is only acceptable in that it gave us Punk Rock. Without such bad music, would there have been such a beautiful rebellion?

I'll take the Seventies over any other decade of rock music. The Eighties were only good for about four years and the less said of the Nineties the better. As much as I hate being old, I am forever grateful to have lived through the 70s. And a shout out to my parents for sending me to New York during the summer of 1977 ... Elvis dies, Frampton Lives, Son of the Sam kills, Mad magazine, Disco and the Good Humor Man. My 12 year old brain had a lot to take in that summer.

God Bless the 1970s. I'd go back if I could.

But staying on topic ... I hate nostalgia for the 80s. Thanks to digital radio, we play it six days a week at my job (the seventh day I get to program and I usually split the day evenly between the 1950s, 1960s and the 1970s.
